Storm Damage Repair for Multifamily

Hurricane and storm damage repair for apartment complexes in Houston. Emergency tarping, debris removal, insurance claims, reconstruction.


Houston's hurricane season runs June through November, but severe storms can strike any time. Being prepared with an emergency plan and a pre-qualified contractor relationship is essential for every multifamily property manager.

Pre-Storm Preparation

Trim trees near buildings. Secure loose outdoor furniture and signage. Test backup generators. Verify insurance coverage and document property condition. Identify a pre-qualified emergency contractor. Communicate emergency procedures to all tenants.

Emergency Response

Tarp damaged roofs within 24 hours to prevent secondary water damage. Board up broken windows. Clear debris from pathways and parking areas. Document all damage with photos, video, and written descriptions before any cleanup begins.

Insurance Claims for Storm Damage

File claims within 24 hours. Provide comprehensive documentation. Get an independent contractor estimate in addition to the adjuster's — storm damage is commonly underpaid. Supplemental claims can recover the difference.

Common Storm Damage Repairs

Roof replacement/repair (most common and most expensive). Siding and facade damage. Window and door replacement. Water damage from compromised building envelope. Fencing and gate replacement. Parking lot and landscape restoration.

Building Back Better

Storm damage reconstruction is an opportunity to upgrade. Impact-rated windows, improved roof systems, and enhanced drainage can reduce future damage. Insurance may cover upgraded materials if they meet current code requirements.
